The full wheel

[Anastasia]

"Then, in light of that, what would you pursue?" Is the next question.

[Nephrite]

Moore rubs his chin. "I'd like to ask, what is normally requested with these sorts of agreements?"

[Anastasia]

"Diplomacy, trade, audiences with Mystra for important matters," Azuth explains, as he produces a book. "Here is a typical contract and treaty."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods, although he does have the last part already...

He will take the book to peruse it!

Bibliotheca Arcana or however it's spelled so I can speed read it. Profession: Lawyer or something for 101 if needed to ensure all the... legal nonsense is there.

He's mostly curious -what- it contains, if anything specific.

[Anastasia]

It's extremely precise when you boil it all down - only your absurd skill lets you follow it. It frees Dweomerheart from any serious responsibilities under the justification of needed neutrality for magic, but allows trade and diplomatic communications, as well as an acceptance that dealings with possibly antithetical powers may happen and are not grounds to break the agreement at all.

When you boil it down, it's a lot of words precisely defining the freedom Dweomerheart needs to ensure magic is not unduly influenced beyond the limitations Mystra establishes.

Mystra is constrained, and though she works against her limits, there are hard ones she cannot surpass safely. There is no malice, only the cold weight of her duties we laid on her so long ago.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods as he hands the book back. "I understand the circumstances and have no objections. I'd be honored to have an official trade route designated for Dweomerheart, if you'd all be interested. I am certain there's plenty of things we could trade back and forth, as well as allies we could both find use in."

[Anastasia]

"I will advise Mystra of this," Azuth agrees, "So it shall be done."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests. We seem to find ourselves adventuring even now, though on a different scale..." A smile after that and a bow as he stands. "Thank you for your time."

[Anastasia]

With this, the matter is done and...

Next move?

[Nephrite]

Let's reach out to Mr. Good Fire's folks in the same way.

[Anastasia]

Okay.

You get no reply - instead you get this:

Duke Moore, you seek me and mine?

[Nephrite]

Greetings and well met.

I'd... like to try and improve the relationship that Celestia has on Fire, and I believe there may be some things we can discuss that would be of benefit to both of our parties. I'm happy to come to you to discuss them, if you wish.

[Anastasia]

You fought the efreet in the past war. You are welcome, all of yours are.

[Nephrite]

I will let them know.

And he will! Hey, if any of them want to go, it sounds like they're welcome to do so.

[Anastasia]

Any preferences here?
